Q: I own WISH as a portion of my speculative portfolio. Last Wednesday it reported what I thought was another good Q - continued acquisitions, rev up 107%, GP up 119%, Gross Margins of 68% (up from 63%). The stock has continued to tank since the announcement and is down 19% from the day before it announced and down over 50% from its 52 wk high. Am I missing something to this story and the stock is indeed undesirable for some reason, or is the market miss pricing this one? They seem to be doing everything right but I may be missing something and would love your perspective.
Many thanks
Scott

Q: Peter and Co., AQN is seeing considerable selling pressure. I am cosidering adding to my position for recession protection and selling some of my overweighting in energy stocks. I am a bit cautious as the stock is falling. Also, REFINITIV's analysis gives AQN an overall rating of '5' on a 10 scale. fundamentals rate a '3', valuation a' 1' and momentum a '3'.
Do you have concerns about these low rating? At what price would you see AQN as a great buy?
With appreciation,
Ed

Q: Hi,
I'm currently holding all of these at a loss, mostly in RSP's - so the loss, if taken, won't be helpful tax wise. I'm aware you are still recommending GSY, but assume that is because at this point it is a reasonably buy. It has been a particular disappointment for me, as I purchased near the recent highs, so I wonder if the remaining capital I have might be better in the energy sector, as I do hold other financials. SNAP and SBUX are looking a bit more like they will take a very long time to show positive momentum - would you agree? Or do you feel it is worth holding onto all of these? I don't need the cash, I'm just wondering if it would be more prudent to stop the day by day reduction in principal, in particular when there are options such as ENB that pay a sizeable dividend in a more positive sector.
Many thanks for your thoughts, as they are always appreciated.

Q: After taking a profit from an oil company you suggested last year (thank you!), I am looking to re-invest (outside of the commodity sectors) accepting higher risk for return. It's a registered account with 10 years before the money is needed. Of the companies listed which would you expect to have the most growth over 10 years?

Q: Hello

Regarding VRIF, I saw a YouTube recently that said that the 4 percent payout will remain constant and that if each unit drops below $25, Vanguard will reduce the monthly payout. Does that make sense? I am somewhat mathematically challenged but from what I understand, if I buy an ETF at a lower price today, I will earn a higher percent payout than if I bought it at a higher price. I'd appreciate your input regarding VRIFs payout.

Thanks
